Technical Analysis of CTK/USDT

The picture uploaded below is a picture of CTK/USDT on a trading view platform This chary is a daily timeframe as we can see from the screenshot. From the screenshot, we can see that the asset has been on a bearish trend for a while now as price was making a series of lower highs and lower lows which is also confirmed by market structure.

Then as we see, the last low formed and then retraced back to the last buy of the previous high as indicated in the screenshot. This last buy indicated is an order block and it is a good area where market price has a great tendency to reverse back. I have marked this area out.

Then I switched the chart to a 4 hour timeframe as uploaded below. Then on this timeframe, I saw another interesting thing. As seen in the screenshot, I saw an imbalance at this area of interest pointed out on daily timeframe. Imbalance is an unhealthy price action. It is a gap the price leave in market and rice expected to fill the gap whenever it comes back to that area. And often time, when an imbalance got filled in market, price often reverses after fill of the imbalance.

Consequently, it also reinforced my daily area of interest, and as we can see from the screenshot, price has been making a reaction at this area already.

Then I changed the chart to 30 minutes timeframe as seen in the screenshot below. As we can see in the screenshot, the price was making a series of higher highs and higher lows. But a point, we see a break of structure to the downside as price could not make a new high higher than the previous high.

Then I also added RSI indicator to the chart. And we as we can see from the picture below, the RSI entered the overbought region at our area of interest and this also reinforce our sell projection. Then shortly after this, there was a break of structure to the downside. Then I waited for price to name a retest of the broken support. At the retest, I place a sell entry with;

- Entry = $1.423
- Stop loss = $1.490
- Take profit =$1.344

Then the real sell order was taken on Binance future trading platform as seen in the screenshot below. I set the take profit order and the stop loss order at current market price and I hit the sell button.

Why are you bullish on this token today?

I am not going bullish on this token today. According to my analysis, I perceived that the token is going to be reversed to bearish direction from the daily order block indicated in the screenshot uploaded on a daily chart.

What is your plan? Do you want to keep it for a long time? Or when to sell it?

Well, for now, there is no plan of holding this token. In fact, I am selling the token and not buying it. I just want to sell the token to a last significant low in 30 minutes timeframe chart of the CTK/USDT asset. So after price gets to that point, the reaction of price will determine what to do.

Do you recommend that everyone buy it? The reasons for recommending or not recommending it

For now, I can not give recommendation to buy the token. This is because the area where price is, there is possibility of retracement back to the previous significant low. Therefore, the only recommendation I can give is for traders to look for an opportunity to take a sell opportunity to the previous low.
